The researcher made on indepth study of the various marketing communication tools. The study also considered the various media through which sales messages get to potential and prospective consumers, and the impact of there messages against the background of competitive product brands.
To accomplish the purpose of this research, related literature on the subject were viewed. The researcher made use of both primary and secondary data.
The analysis of our data revealed that consumers and aware of the presence of Hi Malt in the market. Semantic barriers, choice of media and appeal to the wrong target market reduce the impact of marketing communication activities. It was also reverted that Hi malt as an indigenous malt drinks in Nigeria does not enjoy an impressive marketing share of the malt drink market. Furthermore, the findings revealed that the image of consolidated breweries plc is a major influencing factor in the sale of Hi-malt.
In the light of the researcher findings, appropriate recommendation were made to enhance the impact of marketing communication on the marketing of Hi-malt message in terms of semantics and the adoption of the universal Malt battle type packaging the researcher advocated into use because in many cares the image of the product and the organization are interwoven, and the both plays symbolic role. However, marketing communication as used in this study is as relates to communication between the marketing organization and their various external publish. Essentially, a marketing organization needs some elements of marketing communication to inform and educate members of its target audience about the existence of its goods & series and to persuade them to patronize it of to develop favourable attitude and opinions towards it. Over the years in Nigeria, companies have been known to continually desistretegies to survive in their various markets.

While these may be other tractors that influences demand for a product and hence its level of consumption, marketing communication plays a vital role in stimulating demand. In many cases, there have been barriers where they exists and reverse them to make for more effective marketing.
